Do Not Remain Silent

Protestors are in the streets, blocking traffic even causing death. They vandalize cars, ignite fires with continual crimes and assault police. The president speaks to them now, tells them - do not remain silent! We watch a clear act of empowering these actions right before us, Instead of condemning this lawlessness and anarchy. This is not speaking for the law abiding victims of these riots. It is giving the message to protestors in the streets - continue. Do not remain silent? This is not about freedom of speech being stopped. This is not about peaceful assembly to continue. This is about the destruction of property, businesses, Violence in our streets and lives lost in the process With a president who thinks they should ‘march on’. Heidi Sands
